Read a letter we received from the U. S.AIR FORCE ACADEMY expressing
their appreciation for the use of the Laurel Airport during the National Collegiate
Flying Association region I flying competition.. We wondered why there was
no local media coverage.
We had a lengthy and sometimes heated discussion concerning annexation of the
Laurel Airport by the City of Laurel. Some of the questions raised were;Who will
foot the bill if and when water and sewer service are extended to the Airport,how
will zoning and building codes be affected,law enfomement and fire protection?
We will try to bid Phase II in January. This includes taxiway and ramp renovation.
Discussed living in hangars.
Moved by Western and seconded by Zahm to reimburse leaseholder funds levied for
chipsealing.Motion passed.
Discussed allowing installation of a "dry hydrant"on Airport property. No problem.
Meeting adjourned at 2130. ~

Dr. Smith,
Thank you for all your support for the recent National Intercollegiate Flying Association Region
1 competition. The blue quonset hut worked great for studying and a place to rest when we
weren't flying. Also, thank you for shielding us from the various complaints that popped up.
Your time and effort are greatly appreciated and the USAFA Flying Team looks forward to the
next time we compete in Laurel.
Sincerely,
BRUCE R. MCNAUGHTON, Major, USAF
